He doesn't have a bad record that will affect this penalty, but he was suspended for three weeks a few years ago for cleaning up Dylan Roberton.He should 5 weeks most likely doesn't have a bad record other than starting the other melee against Geelong.
Jonas had earlier argued he didn't intend to strike Gaff but had been caught in two minds between bracing for contact and attempting to spoil as he closed in on the Eagles' midfielder during last Saturday's clash at Adelaide Oval.
The 25-year-old told the Tribunal he had taken the "soft option" of protecting himself and the forearm he raised was intended to protect his body from impact in the collision.
Jonas will spend seven weeks out of football, with the Power having a bye in round 14, returning against North Melbourne in round 17 at Etihad Stadium.
"One thing I'm sure of is I didn't intend to make contact with him like that," a contrite Jonas told the Tribunal.
"I regretted it immediately and I felt terrible.
"It's a little bit embarrassing. I took the soft option and was scared for my own safety.
"At no time during the incident did I have the intention of striking Andrew Gaff in the neck or head and hurting him."
Jonas's argument was dismissed by the jury of Hamish McIntosh, Shane Wakelin and Emmett Dunne, who deliberated for seven minutes before settling on their penalty.
The final ban was one-match shy of the seven-week penalty recommended by AFL counsel Jeff Gleeson, who accused Jonas of reconstructing the truth.
"It's a human response to convince yourself that you didn't intend to do what the evidence shows you did," Gleeson said in his case against Jonas.
He said the jury should reject the defender's evidence that he had intended to spoil and braced for contact at the last minute.
"That doesn't leave many other palatable alternatives ... at the last minute he intended to strike," Gleeson said.
Eagles: "Can't quite beat good teams."Well, just like that...we are half-way through the Home and Away season!
I've seen this done elsewhere, so I thought we could try it: describe your team's first half of the 2016 season in NO MORE than five words.
